Given: a thin hollow cylinder open at both ends slides without rotating and then rolls without slipping with the same speed.
To find the ratio of kinetic energies in the two cases
Solution:
When hollow cylinder slides without rolling, it posses only transnational Kinetic energy
When it rolls slipping, it posses both type of Kinetic energy
Therefore
and for hollow cylinder 
So the above equation becomes,
Hence the ratio of kinetic energies in the two cases is
